sub-optimal behavior is certain scenarios and finding ways to reproduce those. Please
report any issue to the bug tracker at <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/issues/entry">google code</a>.</p>
<p class="last">New features that need testing are streaming (<tt class="docutils literal">set_piece_deadline()</tt>), the different
choking algorithms (especially the new BitTyrant choker), the disk cache options (such
